Anything For Her

Chapter 698 Sweating

“Yes. I know,” Sophie said. Now that Alex is dead, Nicholas might not do anything in retaliation, but Old Mr. Sable will. After all, Alex was almost like a son to Old Mr. Sable.

Cecelia continued to stay in Jetroina for a few more days, and she was still reluctant to return even after her manager called.

“I'm finally on holiday. Why can't you just let me rest for a few more days?” Cecelia questioned unhappily. I really don't want to go back to work!

“Cecelia, it's not that I don't want to let you rest. It's just that we had already signed the contract for this movie a long time ago! Besides, it's Mr. Ledger's movie. Please come back soon,” the manager requested helplessly. This is such a golden opportunity for Cecelia! She's still young, so she should make full use of it.

“Okay. I understand. I'll go back tomorrow.” Cecelia was exasperated. I shouldn't have chosen this career back then. I'm flying all around the world all the time, and I never have time for myself.

After hanging up the phone, Cecelia went back to Sophie's ward.

Noticing Cecelia's gloomy expression, Sophie asked, “What's wrong? Did you get lectured by your manager?”

Cecelia shook her head, saying, “No. Sophie, I wanted to spend more time with you here, but I have to leave for work.”

This has always been the case. Every time something happens to Sophie, I'm never by her side. Cecelia felt she wasn't being a good friend to Sophie.

“Oh, I see. I was the one who got you that role, so you must work hard!” Sophie knew how much Cecelia loved acting.

However, Cecelia was just not feeling it at that moment.

“Sophie, I think I'm getting sick of the entertainment industry,” Cecelia said. That's why I feel so weary now that I need to return to work.

“You're just worried about me, but I promise you—I'm fine. I really am.” Sophie knew what was on Cecelia's mind.

“I really hope that's the case! I'm heading back tomorrow. Rest well, okay? Please give me a call whenever you're free.” Cecelia was still worried about Sophie, so she added, “Do you want to fly back with me?”

Cecelia thought things would be easier if Sophie could return to Chanaea.

“You should head back first. I need to be here for a while longer.” It wasn't convenient for Sophie to travel just yet.

“Okay. I understand.”

Meanwhile, Ysabelle had also received a call from her manager. Ysabelle's new album was getting released soon, and she was supposedly only there for a short break.

But she had been away for too long, and it was time for her to get back to work.

“I would like to stay for another week.”

“Ysabelle, this is the time for your career to soar, so this album is important to you. I think you should come back! Besides, it's not like you can be of help there.” The manager spoke frankly.

Evidently, everyone knew Sophie was injured.

Ysabelle was rendered speechless when she heard that. Why is everyone saying that?

“Furthermore, you know how hard Sophie worked on your album this time around. You'll disappoint her if you don't do well.”

In response, Ysabelle took a deep breath and said, “Okay. I got it. I'll go back tomorrow.” As an artist, she couldn't afford to be willful.

Felix noticed how moody she was after she hung up the phone. He pulled her into his embrace and asked, “What's the matter? If you don't want to go back, I can have a talk with your manager.” After all, Ysabelle only joined the entertainment industry for fun. She could leave anytime she wanted.

Ysabelle shook her head. “My manager is right. I'm now an artist from TS Entertainment. Regardless of how I feel, there are things I need to deal with.”

Ysabelle felt it was time for her to be more mature. I shouldn't let others worry about me.

Felix's heart ached when he heard her. “Ysabelle, I already told you it's going to be tiring to work in the entertainment industry.”

“It's all right. I don't think it's tiring since I love doing it. It's just that I'm worried about Sophie,” Ysabelle answered. I think I'm being irresponsible. After all, Sophie got hurt because of me. Now, I'm leaving her.

“If that's what you're worried about, I think you should head back as well. With Mr. Tristan here, do you think you'll be able to help with anything?” Felix asked. Ever since Sophie got injured, Tristan had been doing everything himself, and he wouldn't let others help.

“Yeah. I know.”

Coincidentally, Sarah also needed to deal with some things at her office, so she was leaving along with the rest.

When they were all in Sophie's ward, they all looked somber. Sophie couldn't help but smile and say, “What's with everyone? You guys are merely going back before me. It's not like we'll never see each other again.”

Sophie thought there was no need for them to feel so moody.

“You must get well soon, Sophie!” Ysabelle was on the verge of crying.

Seeing that, Cecelia patted Ysabelle's shoulder and exclaimed, “Don't worry! Evil people usually get to live a long time!”

Sophie was speechless at that. Am I an evil person?

“All right. That's enough. Go home, you guys! I'll see everyone soon. Tristan, please see them out!”

Tristan rose to his feet and walked everyone out. Felix and Ysabelle were leaving as well. Since they had quite a few of their men there, they believed the Sable family couldn't do anything to harm them.
